Joe is an honest, motivated and determined life-long resident of the Fourth District.

He will work hard to do the right thing for his hometown.

Joe is extremely easy to talk to and genuinely cares about doing what’s right. Joe Rayhill is a faithful man of God, loving man of family and strong man of community who I trust to be my Fourth District magistrate.

He is an encourager, listener and all-around good man ready to serve the community he loves so much.

It is very simple….Bullitt County needs Linda Belcher back in Frankfort.

I know Linda very well and know what an honest, caring person she is.

She has always lived and worked in Bullitt County. Bullitt County is where her heart is. We are currently serving together on the Bullitt County Foundation for Excellence in Public Education board. She is so passionate about our children and our fundraising efforts to provide grant money to teachers.

Before you cast your vote for District 49 House of Representative, I wanted you to know a little of the Mike Nemes I know.

My family has known Mike Nemes and his family for around 18 years, since our boys played recreational baseball together. That was really how we came to know Mike. He became our oldest son’s baseball coach for seven of those years.

Through all of the travels, tournaments, practices, seasons, we got to know Mike Nemes and his family. What Iearned about Mike during that time was that he was a man who truly cared about people.

I have received my property taxes for the year and the school tax part that I have to pay is ridiculous.

The biggest portion is school tax. Even superintendent Keith Davis admits that the school system could function without the extra tax being applied. Yes, we are hurting out here with inflation, gas prices, utilities increasing and everyone is fighting to keep what they make in their pockets.

In reference to your recent commentary concerning the approved school tax rate, I would like to make the following comments:

The School Board Members are smart not to offer a vote on any tax increases. They know that it would not receive an acceptable voter response.

Your commentary stated that the district would have an additional $1.3 million dollars to spend, of which $1.2 million would go to the Teacher Retirement System and also give a 2 percent salary increase for next year.
